Minimum Number of Neighbour Nodes and Transmission Range Based Overhearing Controlled Protocol for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

Ad-hoc networks are communications less wireless networks; the most critical problem in mobile ad-hoc networks is energy utilization. Energy could be a restricted resource. All nodes eavesdrops the data transference in its locality and uses energy without need. Nevertheless various existing routing procedures collect route information via eavesdropping. The important reason for more energy utilization is unnecessary eavesdropping and rebroadcasting of RREQ to nodes. We propose a new mechanism to decrease energy consumption called Minimum Number of Neighbor Nodes and Transmission Range Based Overhearing Controlled Protocol. In which node has a choice of whether to send a packet or not by transmit effective info in Announcement Traffic Indication Message (ATIM) window and node selection on the basis of Transmission range and RES. The Proposed protocol is high energy-efficient compared to Conventional 802.11 PSM-established projects.
